FORT BLISS - The nation’s fourth largest general construction contractor celebrated a milestone achievement at Fort Bliss Army Installation in El Paso.

Balfour Beatty Construction has established one of the largest inventories of completed privatized military housing in the country. Now they are paying tribute to their 10,000th unit. The unit is one of 1,861 homes being built for military service men and women and their families at Fort Bliss

In 2002, Balfour Beatty Communities and Balfour Beatty Construction formed a partnership to respond to the privatized housing needs of the Army, Navy and Air Force across the United States.

“I have a hard time wrapping my arms around 10,000 units. It’s a miracle,” said Don Spigelmyer, retired Executive Director of the Residential Communities Initiative (RCI). “This is not just about the celebration of 10,000 homes. This is about 10,000 military families who have a place to call home.”
